Incorrect flame size and color can be attributed to any of the following:
1. Dirty or clogged tips. Clean tips with copper wire.
2. The flux level is too low. Check the level and fill as necessary.
3. The check valve filters are dirty or clogged.
4. The water level in the gas generating cell is too low. Fill if necessary.
5. The power line voltage is too low to produce sufficient gas. Check the line voltage and
relocate the unit if necessary.
6. The gas generating cell has overheated. See above section.
7. Electrolyte is old, or its effectiveness has been reduced by many hours of use and
dilution. Flush the machine and replace the electrolyte.
The flame is the most reliable indicator of performance on the HydroFlame Torch. If any
part of the unit is not performing up to standard, symptoms will appear in the flame. The
color of the flame may change, the size of the flame may change, spitting may occur, or
the flame may not generate at all. By keeping a close eye on the flame, you will be able
to monitor the performance of the unit and spot any potential problems before they occur.
